Champagne Taste, Beer Budget

Ever heard of the phrase, "Champage Taste on a Beer Budget." I hear it all the time, but can't quite grasp it. Mainly bc my favorite champagne cost $4 a bottle (Andre, Duh!)... So unless we are comparing it to a 30 pack of Keystone for $11 (College What, What!), I'd say my beer is the more expensive of the tastes..

Errr... Does that make me a redneck?

Anywho, I guess they are referring to rich folks champagne.. and in that case.. that's exactly what I have, Champagne taste. And I am not ashamed to admit it. I always run into this problem when the Holidays come around. If it's not expensive then 90% of the time I have already purchased it for myself. Therefore I leave nothing on my Christmas list. 

So here are a few things from each list of mine! 

What are some dream items on your champagne budget?? 

And your must have items on you beer budget??

And another local goody is this print of the restaurant where Kendol and I went on our first date by J. Mark Reed Photography. It is a very old restaurant here in Jackson and the original location (in terrible, terrible part of town) is finally shutting down and moving to a new, safer location. I already have a menu framed, but I would love to have this as a keepsake.

Ok.. Ok.. Maybe my Beer Budget Friendly Christmas List isn't lacking after all :)
